Question: can we "repair" with Intune / Microsoft Endpoint Manager? Anybody knows?

If you can reliably reproduce this, best open a support case.

Thx, tickets opened. Rebuilding the index doesn't fix the issue.

Issue has not been solved yet. Indexing looks not to be the root cause.

Did you replicate the search in OWA first? Rare for client issues to impact OWA, but a good first step to rule out the issue in the cloud. Back to Outlook, do you get different results when searching in Offline, Online, and Cached Exchange Modes, or the same results in each of those modes?

Searching for "keywords" shows proper results. I didn't check Offline. All is cached and fully indexed. PCs are AADJ, Business Premium. Support guidance: "While outlook is closed, control panel>>select the program (Microsoft Office 365 Business - en-us>>Right-click and repair (if there is no repair option), click on "change" and then repair>>wait for it to complete and refresh your PC from the desktop or restart it." Tomorrow will know the outcome.
